A bit too surrealist for me. Gloomy and gory but also a bit funny in parts.

رابطه هدایت و نوشتن خیلی عجیبه. انگار که نوشته‌هاش امضای خودش رو دارن. انگار که می‌شه تشخیص داد هدایته، چون از روح خودش قطره قطره توی نوشته‌هاش چکونده.
بوف کور بی‌پرده بود، تاریک بود، محو و چرک و بوگندو بود. بوف کور پر از جزئیات و تمثیل‌های چندش آور بود. این‌ها شاید به مذاق من خواننده خوش نیان، اما رسالت ادبیاتی نویسنده انجام شده. چون به من احساساتی القا کرده. چون اون پروسه جنون راوی برای من آشکار و ملموس بوده.
بوف کور از آثاریه که بعدا بهش بر خواهم گشت.

this is not a long book and i am very thankful for that: if it had been even 50 pages longer i would have DNF'd.
maybe it was the translation, maybe it's that i'm not familiar enough with literature from the period, maybe it's just that it just wasn't for me! i did like the start of it - how dark and hallucinatory it was, the uncertainty, how the long (long, long) sentences led to this dream-like feeling. i enjoyed a certain level of confusion over what was happening!
i was much less fond of the second section and how the narrator talks about women, particularly the insistence on referring to his wife as a whore. look, a man calls a woman a whore a couple of times and i'm unhappy about it but i've lived in the world and understand a certain level of misogyny as unfortunately baseline. a man calls a woman a whore every single time he thinks of her and i start to want to hear her violent daydreams about murdering him.

I’m not even sure how to feel right now or what to rate this. This has been one of the more disturbing or even ugly pieces of literature I’ve read, and I’m not sure I can say I enjoyed it. But.. I also think it’s a masterpiece?
This felt more feverish than a fever dream, the entire book feels like it’s in a state between wakefulness and sleep. Like a nightmare delusion ? And I probably said “what the hell am I reading” like a hundred times throughout the book. Gosh it was weird.
Very unconventional and unique writing style, I really have never experienced anything like it. It felt as though I was experiencing everything first-hand, unfortunately, and the use of repetition is so masterfully unsettling and creative and it made me not want to read this ever again. It was amazing, but difficult to get through.

Bizarre. Like stepping through the looking glass into a half-remembered dream, then finding a looking glass, then stepping through it into a half-remembered dream, then find a looking glass...

Not sure how I feel about this one. Gives me David Lynch’s Lost Highway vibes
